Due to the other review of this model I gave some thought to the idea of getting this Meinl cajon with the active PU or not. The extra cost was a detriment. In the end, it was a decision between carrying around a mic, stand, and cable, or not. Also I do not have them to spare and buying a Sure 57 mic, cable and stand is the approx. cost of the pickup model. Plus using an external mic means no volume control at the box either. Of course I am assuming the pickup will replicate sound as true as the Sure 57.

The Cajon itself is not bad, but I cant believe they actually charge more for the pickup version. The pickup is very low quality and useless, I cant believe they manufactured and sent it out for sale like this. If you like the Cajon buy the one without the pickup and save your safe some money.
